Double Shot shares its recast timer with Unlimited Shot. Does the merits that lower Unlimited Shot lower the recast of Double Shot as well?

Unlimited shot recast merits do not lower the delay for Double Shot.

I would assume not, but haven't tested myself. Jump and Spirit Jump share a timer and Jump merits don't work for Spirit Jump.

Little off topic. Haven't had time to lvl rng to 80 yet. But is unlimited shot even worth it anymore? Don't really see how the extra damange from PPA will out due Double shot.

I was Snapshot and Unlimited but not I'm shifting Unlimited to Sharpshot. The enmity down on camo is great but i just wish it worked on WS T.T

Antlion arrows are 41 Dmg and 5 ratt vs. 40 dmg 40racc/10ratt. This combined with Double shot makes it hard to stomach using unlimited at all IMHO.

Ya I figured it would become usless even with Demon.
I haven't seen many Antlion arrows yet though

Trying to merit up my rng and not sure where to go with the job specific merits, just looking for a few ideas and input on how good they are(like flashy shot and stuff).

Snapshot is essentially Haste for RNG. If my understanding of how Flashy Shot works is correct then you trade increased enmity for your next shot (or WS) ignoring the level difference impedement. With the level increase this would make Flashy Shot less effective. If my understanding of Flashy Shot is not correct then please disregard that i suck ***.

Anything below EM (or equivalent in level for NMs), it's useless. It has always been that way, and you are right, the update has made it even lamer.

Still worth 1/5 in my opinion to hit big numbers on sky gods and such, but not worth 5/5 anymore.

As Ashman said, Snapshot is haste... Meaning 5/5 is not optional!
